I think he is. I remember watching a game back in 06 against the Braves on FOX and Tim McCarver said that he was a natural righty. You can tell by his stance and his swing is silky smooth from the right side. Lefty, he swings with an uppercut

My Off Season Plan:
After the obvious of extending Wright and Dickey . .
Resign Hairston and Cedeno.
Sign Russell Martin (assuming he doesn't return to the Yanks) and pair him with Thole.
Trade for Josh Willingham (power in the middle of the lineup)
Trade for Peter Bourjos. (speed at the top, great glove in CF) Sign Juan Pierre as insurance.
Sign Jason Grilli
Non tender Pelfrey, then resign at a lower salary.
If Bay has a great spring, he stays, otherwise he goes.

Lineup:
Bourjos - CF (if slow to start, platoon him with Pierre for a while)
Murphy - 2B (if traded, go with Valdespin and bring up Flores in June)
Wright - 3B
Davis - 1B
Willingham - RF (sure, he played LF the last few years, but he can play Right too)
Duda - LF (if traded, Kirk or dD, or Bay if he has a great spring, but Hairston as a regular isn't a bad idea either)
Tejada - SS
Martin - C

I'd like to give den Dekker a good shot in ST to make the opening day roster. He'll most likely start in AAA like Kirk did this year, but den Dekker is just godly with the glove in center field and has a power bat. If he tears it up at the plate this spring, I'd like to see him make the roster.

If A-Rod had signed 11 years ago, his contract would of been up by now, but it probably would of meant no Beltran in 2005.

I still would have preferred Beltran to A-Rod.
